Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18133 (Hold): Elementor builder problemhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/181332023-04-28T14:45:02ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>From Indranil Choudhury, Via ZendesK:</p>
<p>I'm working with CITE CUNY<<a class="external" href="https://computinged.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://computinged.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>> and I've encountered a few issues that I haven't had luck solving. [note from Marilyn - first issue is a separate ticket]</p>
<p>2. When using the Elementor builder with the Elementor Hello theme, when I try to apply a site kit, I get an error. This seems to be a common issue, and the solution is outlined here<<a class="external" href="https://element.how/elementor-kit-something-went-wrong/&gt;">https://element.how/elementor-kit-something-went-wrong/&gt;</a>, but I don't think I can access those settings.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #16655 (New): Formatting on CETLS Events pagehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/166552022-08-24T17:47:40ZGina Cherry
<p>The formatting of my site's events page appears to have changed, even though I have not made any changes to it. Any idea what might have happened?</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I have an inquiry from a professor about a resolution issue on this site: <a class="external" href="https://fonetica.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://fonetica.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>The site appears fine at first but then the Commons footers loads over most of the site. I think this might be a theme issue but don't want to un-install and reset the design of the site. Are you able to identify if this is a bug with the "Shuttershot" theme without un-installing? (if not that's fine). If it is a bug with the theme, can it be resolved?</p>
<p>I recognize that this is a pretty old theme so if not worth patching the bug, perhaps I need to source a newer similar theme for activation on the Commons. And even if we can resolve the bug, maybe we turn this theme off as an option for new sites?</p>
<p>(on another note, i think this warrants a review of our 65 themes, which i can plan to get to during the fall semester)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #16314 (New): Install Multicollab plug-in?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/163142022-06-28T21:52:14ZRaffi Khatchadourianraffi.khatchadourian@hunter.cuny.edu
<p>Seems useful for editing. What do you think?</p>

<p>On Nov 9 and Nov 23, as part of regular maintenance updates, I tried updating Elementor from version 3.4.4 to the latest version (3.4.6 or 3.4.8). Both times, the Commons database was brought to a halt by an influx of database connections, within minutes.</p>
<p>See <a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14986">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14986</a>, <a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14951">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14951</a></p>
<p>Effective immediately, I won't be updating Elementor anymore during regular maintenance updates. Specifically, I will add it to the list of blocked plugins in my wp-cli-cac update tools. Ray, if you have your own version of these tools, please do the same.</p>
<p>The next time Elementor is updated to a new major version, say 3.5, I might consider trying the update again in isolation. I'll leave this ticket open for further investigation.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #12573 (New): CommentPress Core Issueshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/125732020-03-24T17:51:05Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net
<p>I have retested following the release and there are still some issues:</p>
<ol>
<li>the footer is does not display correctly</li>
<li>"Create A New Doc" goes to create a new group/site/group+site (Special Pages)</li>
<li> Site Home goes to CAC Homepage (Special Pages)</li>
<li>Recently Active button shows all Commons members who are recently active</li>
<li>Who is Online shows all Commons members who are online</li>
<li>If you change the theme to a non commentpress theme, and try to change back, you can only change to Comment Default theme, not the Modern theme (you have to deactivate plugin and reactivate to get to the Modern theme again)</li>
</ol>
<p>Most of these are not terribly serious, and the plugin still works, but it would be nice to get them fixed in the future, when there is time.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #11545 (New): Twitter searches in WordPresshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/115452019-06-11T15:52:47ZGina Cherry
<p>We would like to display recent tweets from a Twitter search (e.g., #openpedagogy) in a widget on our site. Do you have any suggestions about how to do this? I've looked at the existing plugins and none of them seem to support this (they only support displaying your own tweets). I've also tried creating an rss feed of the search and using one of the rss widgets, but this has also failed for various reasons (feedburners not working or not supporting this type of feed). Is there a different approach that I've overlooked? Or is it possible to install a plugin that would support this?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #9926 (New): twitter-mentions-as-comments cron jobs can run longhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/99262018-06-14T02:32:33ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>Just logged a long request triggered by a cron job in twitter-mentions-as-comments. It appears that the plugin does an hourly check that involves pulling up every single post on the site. This can take a very long time when a site has many posts. The plugin has no obvious internal mechanism for dividing this process into batches.</p>
<p>The plugin hasn't been updated in 5 years, so we might consider disabling it. Here are the sites where it's running:</p>

<p>I'll start by putting 15 minutes in to see if I can rewrite the plugin to use separate cron tasks for each post.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #8498 (New): Gravity Forms Email Usershttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/84982017-08-10T15:42:56ZRaffi Khatchadourianraffi.khatchadourian@hunter.cuny.edu

<p>As part of my Theme Assessment (<a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/7828">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/7828</a>), I am identifying and suggesting new themes for the Commons to adopt.</p>
<p>In this thread, I am suggesting recently updated themes found in the WordPress.org repository that are built off of Google's Material Design: <a class="external" href="https://material.io/guidelines/">https://material.io/guidelines/</a><br />To note, all of these themes are responsive, and Material Design thoughtfully approaches accessibility, which Luke wanted me to prioritize: <a class="external" href="https://material.io/guidelines/usability/accessibility.html">https://material.io/guidelines/usability/accessibility.html</a></p>
<p>The first definite suggestion is <strong>Materialize</strong>, which DH scholar Anastasia Salter has adopted for a web project, as she discusses here: <a class="external" href="http://www.chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/thinking-digital-with-external-review-materials/64127">http://www.chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/thinking-digital-with-external-review-materials/64127</a><br />Here's the theme info: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/materialize/">https://wordpress.org/themes/materialize/</a></p>

<p>Per ticket 3660, we will have to use the Zendesk web widget starting Nov 2016. Ray told me that the team did not like that widget due to its lack of customization. Can we use this ticket to prepare a complaint/feature request that I can pass on to Zendesk? Thank you.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #3691 (New): WPMU Domain Mapping Debugging on cdevhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/36912014-12-02T17:23:21ZRaymond Hoh
<p>As per the 1.7.5 release, there was a redirect issue with the WPMU Domain Mapping plugin during upgrade to v0.5.5 that forced us to rollback to the previous version (v0.5.4.3).</p>
<p>Boone has suggested that we help debug the latest release on cdev so we can send a patch back to the authors.</p>
<p>Can you let us know when you've set up a domain for mapping on cdev and whether you require any help in debugging?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3492 (Assigned): Add CBOX theme to the Commonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/34922014-09-24T23:47:25Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net
<p>I was wondering if we want to have the CBOX theme as a choice for members on the Commons. Not sure if this would cause any difficulties, since it is a BP theme... Maybe with the sitewide wiki and its widgets (which we could also as a plugin option)?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #412 (Assigned): Featured Themeshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4122010-11-23T19:13:51ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>I'd like to make the process of choosing themes easier for our bloggers. Is there a way that we could mark/tag some themes as "featured" and then offer bloggers the chance to choose from them instead of having to slog through the entire repository?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #364 (New): Bulletin Boardhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3642010-10-06T03:58:00ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I've had a few people contact me to ask about where they might post announcements. I know we've talked about something like this in the past, but here are a few ideas:</p>
<p>1. A general area where people could post announcements. We could have a checkbox on sign up that asks people whether they want to subscribe by email<br />2. A craigslist type bulletin board -- perhaps done through a group, but is access more through the forum interface than through a group interface<br />3. A general group for announcements.</p>
<p>What do you all think? I think that, generally, it should be an easy to use space that allows opt-in subscriptions.</p>
